Chapter 100: Target Chambord Islands (2-in-1 Chapter)
The icy sea water hit and Ian couldn't help but shiver. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, it didn't matter if she fell into the water, although Tina is a Devil Fruit ability and can't swim, but Ian can.
Holding Tina tightly in one hand, he slowly stepped on the water, keeping afloat on the water, waiting for the rescue of the navy warship.
However, what Ian didn't expect was that the Spades, whose hull was disintegrating at this time, actually began to sink the ship!
Everyone knows that when a ship sinks, the people nearby are very dangerous, because when the ship sinks into the water, it will bring out the whirlpool, and the strong current will pull the nearby people into the sea together.
This is the situation that Ian encountered now, because of the attack on the hull of the spade, it has already begun to enter the water, and after disintegrating at this time, the speed of the sinking ship began to accelerate, and the warships of the navy rushed over, but it still took a little time.
Ian had already felt the suction coming at this time, people in the sea and on land are completely different things, and the force can't be used, Ian is now holding Tina again, trying to swim forward twice, and found that he couldn't break free from this suction, and immediately knew that he was going to suffer.
"Beauty! Hold your breath! Ian said to Tina in her arms.
Tina had a very complicated expression at this time, she knew that she didn't need any strength in the sea at all, so if she wanted to survive, she could only rely on Ian.
The waves rolled in, and a burst of force swept Ian and Tina to the bottom of the sea.
Due to Ian's advance warning, Tina also held her breath, although she could not swim, but as long as she held her breath for a while, when the time came for the spade to completely sink, the power of the current disappeared, and she could resurface.
Ian held Tina in his left hand, and pressed his hat tightly with his right hand, he didn't know if the phone bug in the hat would be okay, but at this time he couldn't let go, because once he let go, the hat would float away with the current, and he might not be able to find it back then, he could only maintain this posture, only rely on his legs to hit the water, try to maintain the strength of the forward, and not let himself and Tina be pulled too far by the current.
However, the suction brought by the wreck lasted longer than Ian imagined, and after a long time, Tina couldn't hold back at first, she was already in a soft state in the sea, plus she was a woman, her lung capacity was not as good as Ian, and when she was about to hold it back, she couldn't help but move her body and struggle twice.
As soon as she moved like this, her body suddenly sank a little further, and when Ian reacted and hugged her again, he no longer hugged her waist, but suddenly hugged her chest, wrapped her arms around, and suddenly placed her palms on top of her plump breasts.
Tina was shocked, and couldn't help but open her mouth to shout, but she forgot that it was in the water, opened her mouth, and the last bit of breath she was holding suddenly turned into bubbles and ran away.
When a mouthful of water chokes on your lungs, don't mention the discomfort.
If this continues, Tina will really drown, but at this moment, Ian's mouth reached out, kissed her on the mouth, and crossed over to her.
Ian is actually quite helpless, in fact, he doesn't have any special thoughts about Nian, because Iana is a lot older than him, if you are not mistaken, Iana should be 29 years old at this time, Ian for her, just out of a pure appreciation of the royal sister's demeanor.
But falling into the water is so hard to say, once the Devil Fruit ability eats the Devil Fruit, it is basically insulated from swimming, Tina doesn't know how many years there has been such a situation of falling into the water, panic is inevitable, in this case, Ian can't let her die, can only protect her, so it is inevitable that this bloody plot will appear.
Fortunately, after Tina was relieved, she finally calmed down, and she didn't dare to struggle indiscriminately, the person who fell into the water struggled indiscriminately, and sometimes it was easy to kill the person who saved people, which she knew.
Feeling the suction of the current slowly decreasing, Ian swung his legs and floated towards the surface, in fact he couldn't hold it anymore.
At this time, the third warship had already approached here, searching for the person who had fallen into the water, and there were not only Ian and Tina on the Spades, but also some of the navy soldiers who had been stunned by the domineering aura of Ace Overlord, these navy were agitated by the cold water, and they also woke up one after another, desperately surfacing the surface for help.
"Hoo!!" When they resurfaced on the surface, Ian and Tina couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Pulled out the Enma knife from his waist and raised it high, and in the next second, the flames filled the entire blade, and the blazing fire was so eye-catching in this night, after the searchers on the warship saw it, they quickly put down the lifeboat and rowed towards Ian and Tina.
"Thank you......" Tina gasped and whispered to Ian, "but ...... How long will your hand go? ”
Ian was stunned for a moment, and then found that his hand was still on Tina's chest, and quickly moved down a little distance, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”
However, although he said this, Ian was recalling the feeling just now, Tina had been wearing a red navy uniform, so that now, Ian found out that there was quite a lot of material under this uniform! It felt a little bigger than he had imagined.
Tina didn't speak, she was a mature woman, she wouldn't be blushing for such a trivial matter, she was helpless before, she could understand this.
When they got on the lifeboat and returned to the navy warship, both Tina and Ian breathed a long sigh of relief.
Tina sat on the deck, and soon a navy soldier brought her a dry cloak and a cup of hot water, but Ian had no one to pay attention to him.
Tina looked at the shackles on her ankles, and then at the soaking wet clothes, stood up, and said, "I'll go change my clothes!" ”
After saying that, she glanced at Ian again and instructed the naval soldier, "Give him a cup of hot water!" ”
"That's right!" Ian smiled at her.
Tina snorted coldly and went into the cabin without looking back, only the naval soldiers on the warship looked at Ian warringly.
Although they also knew that Colonel Tina was rescued by this man, since Ian was a former member of the pirate ship, the navy soldiers could not figure out who he was, so they could only treat him with such a lukewarm attitude.
Ian didn't mind, and took off the hat from his head, intending to see if the phone bug was okay.
After taking it off and looking at it, Ian suddenly panicked, because at this time, the phone bug had come out of the shell, and he looked sick.
"This ...... What's going on? ”
Ian scrambled over a Navy soldier and asked him.
"It's probably the salt of the sea that's causing it harm!" The Navy soldier has more opportunities to contact the phone bug, so he understands it, and explains to Ian: "The phone bug is also a water-loving creature, but it is fresh water, and the salt of the sea water will cause it to dehydrate, and it does not soak in the sea for too long, so you can quickly soak it in fresh water." ”
So Ian hurriedly asked the navy soldiers for some fresh water, put it in a basin, and put the phone bug in it.
The effect is still quite good, and after a while, the phone bug gradually became a little energetic.
Just as Ian breathed a sigh of relief, Tina also changed her clothes and came out of the cabin, and the first thing she did when she came out was to ask about the casualties.
The navy soldiers who were stunned by Ace were basically fished out, and the only trouble now is the soldiers on the warship that Ace drove away.
Tina thought for a moment and asked Ian to follow her into the cabin.
After coming to a room, she asked him with a cold face: "Your pirate friend, who drove away my warship, and there are my soldiers on board, how are you going to explain this?" ”
"Don't worry!" Ian nodded at her, "Just follow the route of that warship, and you'll definitely find those soldiers of yours!" ”
"Good!" "That's what you said, from now on, you're going to be under house arrest, and if I don't find my soldiers, then you'll be responsible." ”
Although Tina is grateful to Ian for saving her, one yard is one yard.
Ian shrugged, he didn't care, because he knew that with Ace's personality, those Navy soldiers were indeed not in danger.
"Anyway, you're not going to want me, are you?" Ian asked Tina Dao.
"I've checked your identity! You are indeed a pirate hunter, and you are also a famous pirate hunter in the East China Sea! Tina flicked her long pink hair, which was still a little wet, lit a cigarette and put it to her mouth, and suddenly asked Ian, "Is Smoker okay?" ”
Ian wasn't surprised that she would ask about Smoker, in Ian's memory, Tina and Smoker were Navy cadets at the same time, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, I just had a fight with him before I went to sea, and he looks very energetic." ”
Tina smiled, and then asked with some curiosity, "You are obviously a pirate hunter, why did you make friends with pirates?" Tina is weird! ”
"That's a long story!" Ian sighed and said, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”
"Don't worry!" Tina said, "I won't want you, but it's hard to say about your friend!" ”
Ian nodded, this was also something he expected, in fact, from the very beginning, after seeing that the commander of this naval force was Tina, Ian understood that there was room for maneuver in things!
In the navy, there are also people with different ideas, such as the red dog Sakasky, or the fighting dog Vice Admiral Dauberman, the so-called hawks, they are completely tough on the pirates, if you meet this kind of person, there is no reason to talk about Ian's affairs on the Ace ship.
However, Tina is different, although she also belongs to the Navy Headquarters, she belongs to the more gentle category, she will fight against real pirates, but in the case of Ian's special situation, she will also have other considerations.
This is the reason why Ian chose to stay and save Tina, with this affection, he may not be reported to Tina for a wanted warrant.
In fact, Ian also understands that it is very embarrassing for him to keep his identity as a pirate hunter, you have to say that it is pure, and it is okay to catch any pirates you see, but on the contrary, he has a connection with some pirates, Ace is one, and Sauron will also be one in the future, Ace is okay to say, Zoro is his junior brother at all, this identity cannot be shaken off, once he and Luffy go out to sea to become pirates, Ian will also not be able to catch him.
At this point, Ian is actually in a similar situation to Karp, Karp is a vice admiral, but his son is a revolutionary army, and his grandson will be a pirate in the future, which is embarrassing.
This may be the so-called people in the rivers and lakes involuntarily, people who know each other have their own ideals and paths, and he can't interfere with other people's choices......
After thinking about it, Ian opened his mouth and asked Tina "Where are you going next?" Do you want to go back to the Navy Headquarters? ”
Tina nodded and said, "This time there was an accident in the round-up of the Iron Bone Pirates, and the operation can only end here, your friend Ace has caused some losses to my troops, and the ship has been destroyed and must be repaired, so I can only go back to the Navy Headquarters first." ”
"Then let me rub the boat!" Ian smiled, "I'll follow your ship to the Chambord Islands!" ”
Ian's sudden decision to go to the Chambord Islands was not without reason, and after thinking about what had happened during this period of time, he thought about it for a while, and then found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
The situation of the Great Voyage is completely different from the original time in the East China Sea, the voyage on the Great Voyage needs to record the pointer, and it can only go on like this island by island, in this case, even if Ian catches the pirates and wants to send them to the naval base to receive the bounty, it is quite a troublesome thing, and he still hasn't figured out where the G-3 branch on this route is located!
This can be seen from the fact that Ian has not received money for a long time since he entered the Great Voyage, and when he killed Pixar on Bibiko Island, he was completely unable to take it away and receive the reward.
Moreover, even if he found the location of the base of the G-3 branch, what if he continued to move forward, after catching the pirates, would he be able to go back to the branch again?
He doesn't have that many permanent pointers, and he can move freely on the route......
This kind of route that is destined to only go in a straight line is actually specially set up for the adventures of pirates, Ian wants to be a pirate hunter, so many islands in the great route, what really helps him is actually only one Chambord Islands!
It is not only close to the Navy Headquarters, but also the meeting point of several shipping routes, where all kinds of pirates will eventually assemble, and Ian can wait for the pirates to come to the door on the Chambord Islands, and if he is caught, he can send it to the Navy Headquarters at any time to receive a bounty, which is close and convenient.
Only the Chambord Islands are truly a paradise for Ian.
Therefore, it is actually a good thing to meet Tina here, Tina must have the permanent pointer of the naval headquarters Marin Vando, and Ian can rub her ship directly to the Chambord Islands.
This is the reason why Ian wants to stay and Ace are separated here for two reasons, one is to prove himself to Tina with practical actions and prevent her from issuing a wanted warrant for her, and the other is to rub the navy ship and go directly to Chambord Island.
It's not just the difference in identity path, Ace is a pirate, he can go on adventures island by island, he can go forward with or without money, but Ian can't do it like him, his strength grows, and he relies on a lot of money, so although it's a pity, he can only skip these adventures.
Of course, in the Chambord Islands, there are actually many unknown factors, there are under the nose of the Navy Headquarters, not only the admiral is sitting in battle, but also the Celestial Dragons, if something happens that Ian can't see, will it cause any accidents, etc., these need Ian to act at the opportunity.
But in any case, going to Chambord Island is a better choice for Ian.
After listening to his words, Tina didn't speak for half a day, as if she was weighing the gains and losses, because Ian was not a navy after all, and she didn't know if there would be any problems with letting a non-navy crew take the ship of the headquarters.
Finally, Tina spoke, "Okay, it's as a reward for saving me once, but your range of motion must be limited!" There are some confidential positions on the warship that you can't get close to! ”
"That's fine!" Ian nodded.
Although he was in the East China Sea at the beginning, he also took a naval ship in the name of a swordsmanship instructor, but it was not the same at that time and now, this is a standard warship of the Navy Headquarters, such a warship actually allows him to be an outsider on board, Tina is afraid that in addition to saving her by herself, some of them are also for the sake of Karp and Smoker's face.
This made Ian quite lucky, which was also one of the reasons why he insisted on maintaining his status as a pirate hunter, to be able to have more or less something to do with the navy, if he really became a pirate, he might only be captured in the name of staying on this ship......
This is a deal with Tina now, which makes Ian think it's funny, it seems that he has been constantly rubbing ships, rubbing past merchant ships, rubbing past pirate ships, and now rubbing against the warships of the Navy Headquarters.
I don't know when I will be able to have a ship of my own......
That night, Tina arranged a room for Ian to live in, the room was very small, it should have belonged to some naval soldier, although this kind of warship in the headquarters was huge, but the same number of passengers was also large, and it was natural that the room seemed small.
Niana and Ian tacitly did not mention the incident when they fell into the water, and similarly, the matter about the shackles of the Hailou stone was also not mentioned, Ian used the shackles of the Hailou stone to restrain Iana with one move, causing Ace to escape smoothly, which was a very shameful thing for Ian, and it was impossible for her to return the shackles to Ian.
Ian also felt that it was no big deal, and after fighting with Ace and finding that his thoughts and domineering were the same as those that could take effect on those with Devil Fruit abilities, Ian had little interest in using the Hailou Stone.
It's impossible to see someone with Devil Fruit ability in the future, so he will pick up the Hailou Stone handcuffs, right? How can you train your fighting ability in that way?
In this way, the night passed, and the next morning, when Ian got up, he got the news that the navy had caught up with the warship that Ace had taken away last night.
With such a huge warship, Ace and their manpower could only barely drive away, so halfway through, Ace and the others changed ships, drove away a small boat, destroyed the mast of the warship, and let the warship stay in place, and the naval soldiers who were tied up by them also remained intact on the warship.
When she learned the news, she was relieved and completely relaxed her supervision of Ian.
Of the three warships that Tina brought out this time, only one was intact, and the other two, one was punched with a big hole by Ace's fire fist, and the other had a mast destroyed, so it was impossible to repair it without going back now.
As a result, this naval force began to follow the guidance of the permanent pointer and thought about the return of the naval headquarters.
Ian didn't know how long it would take to return, but he wasn't in a hurry, and every day he had free time, he practiced his swordsmanship and chanting skills on the deck of the navy.
Two days later, Tina found him and handed Ian a bounty slip.
On it, there is a photo of Ace, and I don't know where the navy took it, but at this time, the navy doesn't seem to know Ace's full name, so it only says "Fire Fist Ace!" A few words.
And the amount of the wanted bounty is as high as 90 million Bailey!
Ian looked at Tina in surprise, he didn't understand why Ace had such a high amount of money as soon as he was rewarded.
"He's a natural Devil Fruit powerhouse!" Tina put on a cloak and took a cigarette in her mouth to explain to Ian: "So the headquarters attaches great importance to it, and when I reported, I also told him that he has a domineering appearance, so the bounty that was finally decided is so much!" Tina was also shocked. ”
"Ninety million! Gee! Ian looked at the bounty sheet with some excitement and said, "Damn, I really want to catch him now!" ”
"In that case, Tina will be glad to see it!"
"That's right!" Ian suddenly thought of a question, turned to Tina and asked, "What if you say ...... I mean, if I were wanted, what would be the bounty? ”
